want to go to a college in texas and want to do physical therapy how long will it take?

Answer 1

Actually, all US programs are now at the graduate level...resulting in either an MS or DPT level degrees. It depends on the structure of the program and how you complete your undergraduate education, but most programs are designed to be completed in 6-7 years.

Here is a list of accredited universities in Texas

Texas
Angelo State University (A4, D5, F1, PU)
Hardin-Simmons University (A4, D6, F1, PR)
Texas State University-San Marcos (A4, D5, F1, PU)
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (D5, E1, E3, F1, PU)
Texas Woman's University (A4, D6, E1, E3, F1, PU)
The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (D5, F1, PU)
The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (A4, D5, F1, PU)
University of Texas at El Paso (D5, F1, PU)
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas (A4, D6, F1, PU)
US Army-Baylor University (A4, D6, D7, F1, PU)

Those denoted as D6 are DPT level programs while D5s are MS programs.

Answer 2

Most physical therapy programs today are graduate programs, and there is a strong movement to make PT completely graduate education with new students working on doctorates in PT as the only degree.

You can still find a few PT programs for undergraduates if you look around, but not very many.

That means that you are going to spend four years getting a degree in biology or related field, and if your grades are good enough, then you will be able to apply to do a four year graduate program in PT.

If you expect to make a lot of money working in health care you are going to have to put in a lot of hard work preparing your skills, and a lot of tuition money.

Good luck pursuing this interesting and challenging career.
